This is a very interesting resource. It doesn't just provide translations of the same content in different languages, it offers information specific to people who speak the language. Really worth exploring.

I was delighted to see that the information for different language groups includes content specific to those speakers. Japanese is my second language so that is the page I looked at and it includes stories such as First Japanese Immigrant on Record in Australia; The War Bride who United Japan and Australia; and Hot Air Balloon Pilot Sanshiro Ishihara. There are also topics such as Communicating Sick Leave in English; "Eh, you don't have homework?" A surprising part of Australian Education; and Moving between States in Australia.
